With services like Uber, Gett, Lyft and Whisk there’s always that question of how much tip one should leave to the driver. Obviously number one factor is the bare satisfaction with the service, followed by your generosity. Some companies like Uber have their tips included in the price therefore leaving any additional tips is all up to you.

Whisk has their tips set through the Whisk app for the full discretion of the company. During your ride you simply open the app and add the amount. However if you don’t open the app within 15 minutes after the ride terminates, Whisk adds a default 20% tip.

At Gett taxi services the minimum is 15% tip. WE suggest though you leave a 20% or even 25% tip when really satisfied with the service and your ride. At the end of the trip you can also rate your driver, view previous journeys and earn loyalty points towards free rides.

At Lyft the price for your ride is voluntary in some markets, so the amount displayed in your app is just a suggested price for the trip. You can adjust the amount before submitting it, meaning if you want to show your appreciation for a great driver, just hit the “+” button to increase the amount and leave a tip.
